Documents Relating to the Sharing of DVA Client Information

We're waiting for noseyrosey to read a recent response and update the status.

Dear FOI Officer,

I am making this request for access to documents under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Cth).

I seek access to any and all documents, records, data, and supporting material held by [Name of Agency] concerning the sharing of personal information originating from the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) over the last ten years. This includes any data transfers from or to the DVA, whether they were one-off exchanges or ongoing, systematic transfers of DVA client information, including personal, medical, financial, or service-related details concerning veterans or their dependents.

I am interested in obtaining a comprehensive understanding of what DVA client information [Authority name] has received or accessed and for what purposes. Specifically, I request:

All records of data sharing arrangements between DVA and [Authority name], including but not limited to memoranda of understanding, service-level agreements, emails, letters, meeting minutes, file transfer logs, internal reports, and instructions that outline what data was shared, when it was shared, and the format or system used for the transfer.

Any policies, procedures, guidelines, or frameworks that govern how [Authority name] requests, obtains, stores, handles, or uses DVA client information. This includes documents that detail the criteria for approving access to such data, any consent or authorization processes, security controls, and retention or destruction policies.

Copies of any ethics committee approvals, privacy impact assessments, internal review board decisions, or other documents that reflect deliberations or authorizations for obtaining DVA client information. This includes records that show the agency considered the ethical, legal, or privacy implications of receiving or using DVA client data.

Documents that outline the intended uses or practical applications of the DVA client data, such as project proposals, business cases, internal strategy papers, or briefings that explain why [Authority name] sought access to this information, how it was intended to be integrated into the agency’s operations, and any expected outcomes or benefits.

A representative sample (in a suitably de-identified or redacted form) of the data or data fields received, so long as providing this sample does not breach any exemption under the FOI Act. The purpose is to understand the nature and granularity of the information shared, without disclosing identifiable personal details.

If the only data [Authority name] received pertains solely to data linked to the Centrelink Confirmation eServices (CCeS) arrangements as described at https://www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/cen..., and there were no other forms of DVA data shared, then no CCeS-related data needs to be provided under this request.

I emphasize that I am not authorizing the transfer of this FOI request to the Department of Veterans’ Affairs or any other agency. If [Authority name] holds the requested information, it should provide it directly. If there are parts of this request that [Name of Agency] does not understand or believes are not held, I invite you to contact me to clarify or refine the scope under section 24AB of the FOI Act, rather than initiating a transfer. However, I do not consent to the transfer of this request to another entity. The FOI Act places the onus on agencies to process requests for documents they hold, and I expect [Authority name] to meet its responsibilities in this regard.

I note that the statutory timeframe for processing FOI requests is 30 days from the date of receipt. I do not consent to any extension of time due to internal reduced activity periods, holiday stand-down periods, or other internal operational issues. If [Authority name] considers that it cannot meet the 30-day timeframe, it may seek an extension from the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner as provided under section 15AB of the FOI Act. I request to be notified if such an application is made.

If you consider any part of this request too broad or complex, please contact me promptly to discuss refining its scope. I remain willing to consider adjustments that will assist efficient processing, provided that they occur within the statutory timeframe and do not undermine the substance of what I am seeking.

I believe that disclosure of these documents is in the public interest, as it promotes transparency and accountability in how government agencies access and use sensitive personal information about veterans. Should you consider charges applicable, I request that you exercise your discretion to reduce or waive them, given the importance of the matter and its alignment with the principles of open government and public accountability.

I look forward to receiving your acknowledgment and decision within the statutory timeframe. Please contact me at the details below if you require further clarification.

Yours sincerely,

Nosey

I acknowledge receipt of your correspondence dated 31 December 2024, regarding my Freedom of Information (FOI) request submitted on 14 December 2024. I note your intention to refuse the request under section 24AA of the FOI Act, citing the unreasonable diversion of resources required to process the request in its current form.

I would like to make it clear that I do not intend to shorten the ten-year timeframe outlined in my original request. The period specified is critical to ensuring the completeness of the information sought and cannot be narrowed without compromising the purpose of the request. The requested documents address significant privacy and ethical concerns regarding the handling of personal data originating from the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA), and a comprehensive review of the specified timeframe is essential.

However, I remain open to reasonable adjustments that would assist in facilitating the processing of my request. For instance, I propose the following refinements to the scope:

Prioritisation of Document Categories:

Documents outlining data-sharing arrangements (e.g., memoranda of understanding, agreements).
Policies and procedures governing the handling of DVA client information.
Privacy impact assessments or other ethical review documents.
Exclusion of Duplicates: Any duplicative or non-substantive internal correspondence that does not contribute meaningfully to understanding the data-sharing practices can be excluded.

Phased Processing: If processing all requested documents within the given timeframe presents a challenge, I am willing to discuss a phased approach where documents are released incrementally.

I trust that these adjustments will sufficiently address your concerns about resource allocation while preserving the integrity of my original request. Should further modifications be required, I am willing to engage in further consultations to finalise the request.

If you persist with the intention to refuse the request, I request that a detailed explanation of the refusal be provided, including the specific reasoning and calculations underpinning your decision under section 24AA of the FOI Act.

I look forward to your prompt response and remain committed to ensuring this matter is resolved efficiently and cooperatively.

Good afternoon Nosey,

Thank you for the email.

As I understand, you have suggested that you revise your request to only the following documents:

"...

Documents outlining data-sharing arrangements (e.g., memoranda of understanding, agreements).

Policies and procedures governing the handling of DVA client information.

Privacy impact assessments or other ethical review documents.

Exclusion of Duplicates: Any duplicative or non-substantive internal correspondence that does not contribute meaningfully to understanding the data-sharing practices can be excluded.

For clarification, can you please confirm whether those documents pertain to Commission interactions with DVA personnel?

At this stage, we will retain the ten-year timeframe, as outlined in your initial request.

Dear Fair Work FOI,

Thanks for your email. I guess the first question the Commission needs to identify is does the commission have any data sharing arrangements with the Department of Veteran Affairs or have had any arrangements in the last 10 years. Then the next question would be has the commission and the department shared any large scale data (more then 100) of veterans.

If the answer is no to the above then it would be very reasonable to be of the view that the commission does not hold any information in relation to the request and should in turn issue a notice confirming this.

If the commission does come back with confirmation that to either of the questions above are Yes then I am happy to discuss the other parts of the request and where suitable give the commission further time to process the request.

Yours sincerely,

noseyrosey
